Cheap Healthy Lunch Ideas for Work (Slide 7)

These all look decent, but in a way also, the soup looks like throw up, a lady I work with brings these sorts of things, except shes dumb and buys it all pre made at the organic stores. Ive found that 9 out of 10 dishes she gets look disgusting, which is very in tune with this article, how about an article that has the same principles, that dont require you to wash your thrown up lunch down, with a glass of wine, as if anyone does that. If anyone else feels this way, Id be happy to puke in a bag and send it to you for half of this bufget.

Agreed. These foods take way too long to prepare, spoil easily, and don't look too filling.

If I could drink wine and beer at work, I wouldn't need a suggestion for lunch!

For all the people complaining out there, maintaining good health does take some effort. Yes, these recipes require a little preparation time, but they seem well worth it; these recipes look very delicious, satisfying and healthy. It's hard to fit all of those criteria. If you want quick food join the drive-thru line. Kudos on this article.

Myself personally, I'm to the point where I've gotten sick of a sandwich, salad and water. I've done that again and again. There's plenty of basic lunch recipes out there (not that a recipe is even needed in those scenarios). For me, I will put a little time at night into prepping lunches for my husband and I. I like being able to look forward to my lunch rather than dreading it. I can understand not all these recipes are super simple, but they are inline with how we normally cook, so trying some of these out is not going to be a stretch at all. Got a whole bunch of recipes to try thanks to this list. Thank you to Eating Well for coming up with some interesting options rather than the same-old same-old.

These aren't good ideas at all! I'd be better off having a salad, a sandwich, and a water.

These ideas are awful. Nearly all of these foods are extremely perishable so they will not stay good in the fridge over several days, and they will take a huge amount of time to prepare. Time that busy professionals do not have. GOOD lunch ideas for work would fill the following requirements:

A) Would take little time to prepare.
B) Would last several days in the fridge so that they can be made in batches ahead of time.
C) Will taste good eaten cold OR will be easily reheated in an office microwave.

None of these recipes fit all these criteria and MOST of these recipes fit NONE of the criteria.

Just to be fair, the spaghetti frittata is the one item on this list that comes close.
